Vehicle Towing Legal Rights

Summary

Tennessee Code Annotated 55-16-104 allows law enforcement to tow vehicles deemed abandoned, immobile, or unattended. Local Millington ordinances may also apply. Verify local rules and check for any posted signs or notices regarding vehicle parking regulations. If your vehicle was legally parked and attended, you may have grounds to contest the towing. Consider contacting local authorities or seeking legal advice for further assistance.

In Millington Tennessee my vehicle was in a accident and I had pulled it in front of my home where it was registered. The police left a notice saying it was unattended and towed it . It was only three days and I had the hood secured with a ratchet strap and it was attended. What standing do I have to have the court release my car
Hi Cynthia,
To help you better, can you please confirm if the vehicle was legally parked in front of your home and if there were any local ordinances regarding unattended or inoperable vehicles?
